Addressing a Need

The development director of Habitat for Humanity of the Eastern Bighorns provided an update to the Sheridan City Council at their business meeting this week. Sheridan Media’s Ron Richter has the details.

The mission of Habitat for Humanity of the Eastern Bighorns is to address the critical need for housing by providing home ownership opportunities for Sheridan families in need. Habitat serves families whose income is 30 to 80 percent of the current median income, as defined by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development for Wyoming. Habitat Development Director Meredith Sopko said they provide four programs that serve the community; home ownership; land trust; home repair, and the ReStore.

Sopko talked about the qualifications for the home ownership program.

Sopko said there are currently four homes in the process of being built in Ranchester as part of the home ownership program.
